Basically this is taking out crack blocking by a receiver, and cut back blocks by Olineman when their Quarterback starts to scramble

Just reread the article and saw where they are eliminating the pop up onside kick. Not sure I agree with the 5 yd penalty and possession automatically goes to receiving team, I think it should be fair catch-able rather.

We'll be playing flag football in 15 years.

How does one perfect an onside kick without the pop up?

dragondad

I didnt go back and re-read, but doesnt It state blind side blocks are legal if hands are open.

This is getting ridiculous.

Mark my words, in 20 years all you will have to do is tag the quarterback to get a sack.

I was going to say flag football, but you're right.... pulling on those flags, someone might break a nail

The way I read the article. Defensive backs will no longer be able to hit the receiver as the ball arrives to knock it free. They will also have to be careful not to touch a receiver with their body before he comes down and catches his balance when they attempt to slap the ball out of his hands.

Am I wrong? I certainly hope so.

Instead of flag football, they'' be playing touch, but players will have to carry feathers or something equally harmless to "touch" the ball carriers with.

You're wrong.

I hope you're right, but the article says a receiver is a defenseless player before he establishes himself as a runner.

I used to practice law, and the language is certainly susceptible to that interpretation.

I've talked with a number of other football coaches and one consistent opinion is that the efforts by rules makers to reduce devastating knee injuries has had the impact (on pun intended) of moving the areas of injury "up" to the neck and head.

They are now moving them back down.

There is no way to completely remove injuries from football. It seems like everyone knows that except the people that make the rules. Instead of making rules trying to protect players, spend money on educating kids how to properly tackle and educating coaches on how to teach kids properly. I'm not saying that coaches do a bad job, it just seems that teaching proper form falls down on the list of priorities

Nah! It's too rough. Someone might get his hand caught in the flag and break a nail.

Pick a Target on the other team and kick it at him all night....Works quite well when you pick the right target...

Nomad1324

They're talking about the onside kick where the ball is driven directly off the tee onto the ground, thereby sending the ball skying like it was just pooch kicked. Normal onside kicks that run along the ground and pop up on their own are still legal.
